Standing by the Soldier.

Circuit Judge McCallUm, of Iowa,
began his careeer at the bar charac-
teristically. His first case was before
a Justice Of marked morality. who was
extremely hash with criminals. The
weakness Of the old Puritan was his
veneration for veterans Of the war, all
of whom he esteemed as unTewarded
heroes. AIcCallum had fought four
years. His client was thief. The
only thing 1 can do for you" said
McCallum, after having gained the
mans confidence, is to implore the
mercy Of the court. When you 90 oD
the stand tell the whole truth"
The man had stolen COW, killed
it, sold the hide, and taken the carcass
home to his family, which was really
suffering for the necessaries of life.
The prosecution. with long line of
witnesses. had made out a perfect
case. and the brow of the justice was
draped IN ominous froNns when the
prisoner was called. The latter did
as directed by his attorney, conceal
ing nothing-from the almost starv-
ing condition Of his wife and family
to the dressing Of the stolen beef.
Nov, your honor" isaid AIcCallum,
the defence has no witnesses. My
client is guilty He has hidden moth
ing from this court. 1t is the first
time he ever transgTessed the laws.
He was inspired to do wrong by that
instinct which we even admire in
brutes." Then, turning to the pri-
soner as if the fact had nearly escaped
him. AIcCallum said: by the way.
YOU were a soldier in the late war,
were you not?"
NYes, sir"
Weren't you at Gettysburg?"
Yes, sir"
so was 1. And you were in other
historic battles. fighting for your
country. while your wife and family
suffered from want at home?"
Yes, sir"
The prosecution at this point saw
the way the case was drifting and
attempted to ridicule the 'old-soldier
defence" as the prosecuting attorney
named it.
The effect OF the old justice was to
arouse all is loyalty and Indignation.
Enough of this said he, bringing
his hand down on the desk in front of
him with a laundering thud, mo
soldier. no man who has shed his best
blood for his country, not even if he
be criminal, can be reviled in my
presence. The prisoner is discharged.
And, sir, when you are suffering for
the necessaries of life again come to
me-"
The joke was too good to keep.
AIcCalIum told the justice one day
that the old soldier was an ex Con-
federate, but never again did Mccall
lum practise in that court.-ChfcGgo

The maiden sat so near my arm,
Around her waist ! threw it,
And then. not meaning any harm,

She threw al angry glance at me,
Her face grew red, and then
